Cleaning + maintaining the lens -- making it clearer, sharper, more focused is literally the key to everything good and meaningful! Then the world also becomes brighter and more beautiful. Loved your point about remaining focused and stop caring about what we can't control.

"Conversely, if you value yourself for the one thing you have for as long as you live—your sense of self—you will be unswayed (or at least less swayed) by the loss or gain of these superficial forces.

🎯 Right on. I do believe in the long run, we get what we desire. Our behaviors map to our desires.
